<b>Title:</b> Chaucer's tale : 1386 and the road to Canterbury / Paul Strohm.<br/><b>Author:</b> Strohm, Paul, 1938-<br/><b>Call Number:</b> PR1905 .S77 2014<br/><b>Description:</b> This is the eye-opening story of the birth of one of the most
celebrated literary creations of the English language. The middle-aged Chaucer
did not enjoy the literary celebrity he has today--far from it. He was living
quietly in London with a modest bureaucratic post, writing poetry for a small
audience of intimate friends. For more than a decade, Chaucer had stayed
precariously afloat in London's fierce factional politics. Aided by a strategic
marriage and ties to the court of Richard II, he had enjoyed favor from two
envied and despised men: the overbearing John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and
the unscrupulous wool profiteer and London Mayor, Nicholas Brembre. Suddenly,
swept up by events beyond his own control, he lost it all. During the autumn of
1386 he was expelled from his London dwelling, humiliated in Parliament,
pressured out of his job, and forced into exile in Kent. Unbroken by these
worldly reversals, Chaucer pursued a new life in art. Cut off from his London
audience, he invented a portable one--a tale-swapping pilgrim band. He
converted his previously private literary career into a public one, in the
grandest of terms. At the loneliest time of his life, Chaucer made the
revolutionary decision to keep writing, to change the nature of what he was
writing, and to write for a national audience, for posterity, and for
fame.--From publisher description.
